Jones' decree was any player who protests during the National Anthem would not play for his team. No exceptions. He even referenced quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliot when he said it according to reports.

ESPN's decision to suspend Hill came rather quickly based on the timestamps of the tweets. A little more than three hours after the Jones and Ross tweet above, ESPN's public relations department put this out.

Hill's suspension lasts until October 23rd, there is no word at this time on if Michael Smith will be anchoring the 6:00 SportsCenter alone or if there will be fill-in anchors for Hill's absence.
